What version of git are you\nusing?\n\nMy usage plan would be to\n\n1 - Have a git test project\n2 - Publish it to a naked/bare repository where git-cvsserver is enabled\n3 - Get the cvs checkout (try commandline cvs to make sure things work)\n4 - Add commits in the git test project and push them to the repo\n5 - Run cvs update\n\nIf it's running ok with old school CVS client, then try with Eclipse. We\nhave tested the update scenario quite a bit, and it works for us, so we\nneed a bit more info.\n\nBTW, can I ask you to bounce these questions off the git@vger.kernel.org \n\nmailing list? We will be happier answering these questions in a way that\ngets archived publicly. (Unless you are a direct client of Catalyst IT,\nthat is!
